As we saw last week, we have verbs that have direct and indirect objects. Some verbs, however, have two objects: one direct and another indirect (with a preposition). Let’s see an example:<\/p>\n
\u00c9l escribi\u00f3 la carta para m\u00ed.<\/em> – He wrote the letter to me. When we use pronouns to replace these objects here’s how it works:<\/p>\n \u00c9l escribi\u00f3 la carta<\/span> para m\u00ed<\/span><\/strong>.<\/em> The indirect object, the one with the preposition, comes first. Now pay close attention to the following example:<\/p>\n \u00c9l dio una flor<\/span><\/strong> a ella<\/span><\/strong>.<\/em> (He gave a flower to her.)<\/p>\n If we were to use the correct pronouns the sentence would be like this:<\/p>\n \u00c9l le <\/span>la<\/span><\/strong> dio.<\/em><\/p>\n But due to sound issues we must use the pronoun se<\/strong> instead of le<\/strong> in these cases.<\/p>\n \u00c9l se<\/span> la<\/span><\/strong> dio.<\/em> Want to try converting some more sentences like the ones above? Remember that the indirect object comes first, ok? And don’t look at the answers below.<\/p>\n 1. Ella dio un juguete a \u00e9l. Las respuestas<\/strong><\/p>\n 1. Ella se lo dio.
